Yeah, I read that earlier today, and I agree that it’ll be interesting to see how it plays out.

I was interested in where they mentioned you wouldn't need the persons # to contact them.

I’m assuming you’re going to have to register with Amazon, if you aren’t already, to be able to use the app. If so, they’ll already have your information anyway and I assume users’ Amazon ID will be used in lieu of their phone number.

Makes sense although not sure how that would work if you have friends who aren't registered with amazon. Maybe it will tie into other social media to pull as well?
